Police Statement on Ghaziabad Sisters’ Deaths Points to Mental Stress and Online Dependency

Phones and Rising Tension at Home

According to police, mobile phones played a key role in the events leading up to the deaths and the father had bought a phone for the eldest daughter three months ago. Another phone was purchased for the second daughter fifteen days before the incident. Later, both phones were sold. Police believe this was due to financial stress. After the phones were taken away, the girls reportedly became withdrawn and officers said the girls were deeply upset and showed signs of depression after losing phone access.

Obsession Claims and Korean Culture Angle

Police said the sisters were strongly interested in Korean culture. They watched Korean dramas and used online platforms linked to Korean content. A suicide note and a diary were found. These pointed towards emotional attachment to online activities and cultural content. Police also mentioned addiction to task based online games. Some online users questioned this angle. They asked if cultural interest alone can push children to suicide. Experts online stressed mental health care. Police said all claims are being verified carefully.

The Night of the Incident and Missing Access

On the night of the incident , the girls reportedly took their mother’s phone. Police said they tried to access the Korean app but failed. Forensic teams seized the phone. No app access was found. The girls had also been asked earlier to delete a social media account with around two thousand followers. Investigators believe this added to their distress. People on social media reacted strongly. Many asked why warning signs were missed. Others questioned parental pressure and communication gaps.

Family Structure and Ongoing Probe

Police revealed details about the family structure during questioning. The father has three wives who are biological sisters. One is the mother of the eldest girl. The other two girls were born to another wife. The girls were said to be closer to their father. They mentioned him in the suicide note. But they did not mention their mother. Police are awaiting forensic reports and cyber teams are tracing sold phones using IMEI numbers with authorities saying the probe is ongoing and sensitive.
